Roundy’s set to make public offering

MILWAUKEE— Roundy’s will be offering 2.9 million shares of its common stock, and certain selling stockholders will be offering 5.9 million shares of the company’s common stock. The underwriters will be granted a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1.3 million shares of common stock from the selling stockholders, all at the offering price less the underwriting discount.

Roundy’s intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which it expects to include funding working capital and operating expenses, as well as capital expenditures to build out the Chicago stores acquired from Safeway. The company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders, including the shares to be sold by the selling stockholders if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option.
